Not the OP but I am also interested.  DC's political class seems to have zero interest in talking on the coming enrollment crises at Wilson.  It would be good to learn that the freshman class size is down from last year because at this point we know there is no chance the DC Council will ever take this up.[/quote]

Let me ask you a real question. If DC’s political class made a move that meant you’d be zoned out of Wilson, would that be ok with you?[/quote]

LMAO at the crickets this got.  PP, don't you understand it's *those people* who need to be zoned out, not PP??[/quote]

This sort of side-show diversion to the issue is why it never gets resolved. [/quote]

That OP here. Exactly my point. People want “political will” as long is it doesn’t negatively impact them.[/quote]

People want neighborhood schools and logical geographic boundaries.  [/quote]

There are logical geographic boundaries that could exclude you, too.  So loop back up to the top and answer the question: if the political will to rezone Wilson zoned you out, would you be okay with it?[/quote]

Actually for some people like us there is  no logical geographic boundary that would exclude us.  I am not saying there is no way we could be excluded from the Wilson boundary, just not on a logical geographic basis.

My personal opinion is that a 2500 student high school can be managed well and certainly better than Wilson is managed today given the apparent chaos.  TC Williams High School in Alexandria has 3800 students, Stuyvesant in NY has 3400, there is nothing about the number alone that makes it a problem.  It is whether the school is prepared and has the resources to serve the student body it has.[/quote]
